Summary

Edgewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 153 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edgewood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 567 and 835 over the past 10 years. The school has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. This is largely due to extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 48.7% to 63.4%, and significantly below-average academic performance on MCAP tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Edgewood Elementary had 0% proficiency in Mathematics and only 20.8% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 26.5% and 50.8%, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Windsor Hills Elementary/Middle, Hilton Elementary, and Rosemont Elementary/Middle, also have relatively low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Edgewood Elementary are not unique and are likely systemic issues within the Baltimore City Public Schools district. However, the nearby KIPP Harmony Academy, a public charter school, has significantly better academic performance, which suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in addressing the challenges faced by students in this area.
